Galleri Gudem

Galleri Gudem is a waterfront art gallery on Hvasser in Færder municipality, exhibiting contemporary visual art and crafts in an 85-square-metre boathouse spread over two floors. Visitors can explore summer exhibitions featuring invited artists, discover prints, paintings and handmade artworks, and enjoy the coastal surroundings. During the summer, the gallery also has a restaurant with covered outdoor seating.

Art exhibitions in a waterfront boathouse
Galleri Gudem's seaside location adds something special to the gallery experience. Its two floors provide an intimate setting for discovering art, with the harbour and coastal landscape just outside. Each summer, the gallery invites a selection of artists to participate in its main exhibition. The exhibitions bring together different artistic styles and techniques, including painting, printmaking, ceramics, glass art, textiles and jewellery. The selection changes from year to year, so check the current exhibition programme to see which artists are featured during your visit.
